While the playground looks nice, like others said it's not something that seems to fit with the Magic Kingdom. In a small park or a standard amusement park like Dorney, it might fit or even as a playground at a Disney resort but in arguably what is considered one of the best theme parks in the world, I think they could have come up with something better than a playground.

The one thing I don't like about Six Flags is that some of their parks have little to no family rides. Take Great Adventure for example, no dark ride for families (Houdini to me could be considered a thrill attraction), no slow moving vehicle rides like antique cars, a train, monorail, boat etc. and very few flat rides. Six Flags is great if you want to ride coasters.

Yeah, summer classes can really ruin summer. Even if it's only 1 or 2 classes, you can't have the "I'm free" mentality that you get with no classes. I only take summer classes during the first session so I can still have 2 months of no school.

Cedar Point, I almost went this year but wasn't able to go but I am planning to go hopefully next spring.

I think it was from another site but I don't remember what site it was.

That's one ride that I don't think will be missed. It's bad enough that it has OSTR's but the capacity looks to be horrible as well thanks to the cars only holding 4 people when I was there last week the line looked to be at least 20 minutes when the "better" coasters had less than 5 minute waits. I don't know if it would fit but if they keep it, they should put it on Wild Wheels Pier since now that Doo Wopper moved, that pier's only coaster is Great White.

Last year at the Magic Kingdom WDW during Spectro Magic, they were trying to keep the walkways in Main Street clear so for people entering the park, there was a side door to go through at the first circle (where the Christmas tree is). It takes you to the backside of Mainstreet USA and through the backside of part of Tomorrowland. It was a little strange and I was surprised they were directing people into the park that way because Disney usually likes to keep backstage stuff out of the public's view.

Maybe they could go for a compact floorless like Dæmonen at Tivoli Gardens if space is an issue http://www.rcdb.com/id2504.htm

Yeah that helix did feel forceful. I was kind of surprised because I had always thought it had a reputation of being one of the tamer inverts out there but I didn't think it was a tame ride (it wasn't too intense for me but I expected it to be a lot less forceful). I guess I'll have to compare it to Talon at Dorney which I'll hopefully be getting to next month.

Yeah the Roller Soaker seems to have a horrible line. I thought it didn't look that bad yesterday because the line wasn't out of the station but there were some mini switchbacks in the station all filled and it looked like the wait would be at least 30 - 40 minutes due to there only being 1 - 2 cars on the track at once and of course the cars only holding 4 people. I'm hoping to try to go on it maybe next year if I can get to Springtime at the park where I had heard they run it without water (and thus hopefully a short line).

I can't say I am surprised it is closing. With Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach and Wet n Wild in the area, I couldn't see why someone would go there unless they were a huge waterpark fan. I'm sure it was a nice little water park but it seemed like it would fit in an area without other big waterparks as competition.

Not sure if I am ready for it yet. I just started going on more intense coasters (before this week I had not been on any coaster more intense than Loch Ness Monster or Sooperdooperlooper) and I'm not sure about the whole launch and the layout. Hopefully next year

After Wildwood earlier in the week, I decided to go to another park before the end of the summer. After stopping outside of the park for lunch, we got to the park at around 1:20 p.m. On the closed attraction list was the Kissing Tower and Sooperdooperlooper. I wasn't too upset about the Kissing Tower being closed but Sooperdooperlooper is one of my favorite coasters and I was dissapointed to see it wasn't running. First stop was the Canyon River Rapids. I had never been on a rapids ride before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew you would get wet but the rafts go directly under 4 or 5 waterfalls and everyone gets soaked. I noticed they really weren't filling the rafts well as I saw a few rafts go by with only 2 people in them (there are 6 seats in each raft). Next was the Merry Dip Fun Slides. Despite a long line, they were only running the green slides which was annoying since last year they weren't running the other side either. Still not as bad as Morey's who had a slide with at least 12 rows and only ran 1 slide! After that I wanted to try Lightning Racers. I chose the Thunder side. I thought the lift hill with one train over another was great. I couldn't believe how twisted the track was on the ride and I liked the whole racing setup. My train barely lost but it was still a fun race. Overall I enjoyed the ride. I then headed to the Whip. Whips are one of my favorite flat rides and although Hershey's is a newer model it's still great. Next up was Wild Mouse. I don't know if the brakes on the top part where it zig zags are usually turned on or not but they weren't when I was there which made for an intense ride. One of the better Wild Mouse coasters I have been on. After Wild Mouse, I went to Sidewinder. After first trying the boomerang at Morey's earlier in the week I wasn't sure about Sidewinder but went on it anyway. The first thing I noticed was extra padding on the restraint so your neck and head wouldn't get bashed as much. The Sidewinder was not nearly as rough as the Sea Serpent and I enjoyed the ride somewhat. We then headed over to Mine Town and went to the antique and sports cars. Not much to say about them other than I am glad Hershey has the ride for people who like slow moving, tame rides and they are great family rides. Next was Great Bear. I was really excited to try Great Bear because I somewhat liked the SLC at Morey's and figured a B&M invert had to be better. Not only was this my first B&M invert, but also my first B&M coaster. I sat in the front row and the view was amazing. I liked all of the inversions and the ride overall was just smooth. I'm glad I went on the SLC at Morey's first or else I probably would have hated the SLC after riding Great Bear. This is my new favorite steel coaster. While in the area, I went to the Coal Cracker log flume. The boat moves through the trough very fast as usual. While on the ride I saw they were running the Sooperdooperlooper with empty trains so I was hoping they would open it later in the day. Heading back to Pioneer Frontier, I decided to take a quick ride on the Trailblazer. It's a fun ride but way too short and a nice beginner coaster. Back in Midway America I was a little unsure of Wildcat since I heard it was rough but went on it anyway. It was somewhat rough but there was lots of airtime and the layout was decent. It was around 8:00 at this point and I still hadn't been to Comet Hollow so I headed over there with first stopping at the Fender Bender Bumper Cars and stopping to play this giant skill crane (at least 10 feet long). The Comet always seems to have a long wait no matter what time it was but it wasn't that bad. After going on Great White this week I wasn't sure if the Comet would still be my favorite wooden coaster but after another ride on the Comet I decided it still is my favorite. Still a great coaster after almost 60 years. While on the Comet I saw there were people in Sooperdooperlooper's station so I went right to that next. Every time I am in Hershey, the ride is a walkon with an empty station but this time, the line was out of the station and into the stairs. I found out this was due to a 1 train operation. I was glad Hershey decided to open the ride up despite it not opening until at least 6:00 p.m. or later, even if only 1 train was running. This was my first looper so it is a special coaster to me. I was afraid I wouldn't like it as much after being on more intense rides this week but the loop was great as always and the lap bar restraints make the ride even better. After the Sooperdooperlooper I headed over to Chocolate World for a walk on "factory tour" dark ride. A fun ride as always and the free sample at the end is always something to look forwards to. After we did some shopping it was past 10:00 p.m. and everything was closed and it was time to head home. Overall, it was a great day. I got 5 new credits and got on 8 out of the 10 coasters in the park with none of them being bad. This trip just further reminded me how Hershey is my favorite non Disney park.

One of these days, I'm going to have to get to Clementon again. I was there when I was a kid but remember not liking the park much. It still sounds like things are the same (bad operations and few rides) but J2 does sound great. The whole Love Park issue has been an ongoing issue with the skateboarders and the city for a while. There was recently a protest about it a few months ago I think but it didn't do any good. I think the issue is that there just aren't many places to skate in the area. There was an indoor skatepark in the suburbs but it closed up around 2 years ago Nice photos

I didn't know there were all those accidents with the Sea Serpent. I'm glad I didn't know about it until know though since I was already worried about it valleying in the cobra roll and since there are no steps on that model I was concerned if it did valley I could be stuck there for hours. Knowing there were accidents would have made me a little more nervous to try it.

edit - not sure what happened with the spacing but when I try to edit the post, the spacing looks correct but it doesn't look right when the posted. Any time I try to fix the spacing, it seems to mess up the spacing for something else in the post. Sorry about that. I decided to take a trip to Morey's today since it is the end of summer vacation and wanted to get one last park in before school next week. I got to Mariner's Landing at 3 p.m., and opted for the all ride wristband. First ride of the day was the bumper cars. It took forever for the ride to start because they only had 1 op for the entire ride. After that we went to Pirates of Wildwdood. It was something different but the 3D effects didn't work too well and the ride was very short with a slow moving line due to the low capacity boats (only 2 - 4 people a boat). Next up was Sea Serpent, the parks boomerang. I had never been on a boomerang before so wasn't sure what to expect. After a 2 train wait I boarded the car in the middle of the train. Going up the lift backwards was strange and I didn't like how it felt like you were being pushed against the restraint. I didn't really like the cobra roll as my neck hit the restraint. I also didn't like going backwards at all. I figured I needed to try the ride because I had never been on any coaster that went backwards and never had been on a coaster with an inversion other than a loop. Even with a 1 train wait when I got off the ride, I had no desire to ride again. After the Sea Serpent we headed over to Wild Wheels Pier deciding to skip the Rollie's Coaster because of the low capacity (4 seat cars) and a line that looked to be over 20 minutes. The one ride I wanted to try more than any other was Great White so that is where I went first. The pier had just opened about 15 minutes before I got there (it opens at 4 p.m. while the other 2 piers open at 12:30 p.m.). I noticed the line was out of the station which wasn't a good sign. When I got in line, I realized the line looked so long because people didn't realize you could walk around the people waiting for the front and that the station itself wasn't crowded at all. After a 3 train wait, I took a seat again in the middle of the train. The drop out of the station was great and a nice surprise. The first drop also was good and there were spots all over the ride that gave air time. I was really surprised by this coaster expecting it to be just another wooden coaster. I think it's one of my favorite wooden coasters now. I then decided to take another ride before the line got too long. This time I sat in the last car, front row. The air time was even greater in the last car. I would have just stayed at Great White the rest of the day but I had a limited amount of time so I decided I had to move on. Next up was some labyrinth. It was a little complicated but what ruined it was there were too many people in there. You could tell which paths led to nowhere by seeing people walking in the opposite direction. After that, I headed to the original pier to get some more credits. Once I got to the pier, the next ride up was The Great Nor'Easter. I have heard a lot of bad things about SLC's but having never been on any inverted coaster before I wanted to try it anyway. They were only running 1 train which I thought would cause a long line but there was only a 2 train wait. I was a little nervous going up the lift hill but once we got to the drop I was ok. It seemed like the ride was over so fast with there being inversion after inversion. I didn't think the ride was that painful and actually liked it. I plan to try to get to a park with a B&M inverted coaster next month (either Hershey or Dorney) so I can compare and see if I like those more. It was 5:20 p.m. at this point so I decided I wanted to get another credit before I left. I headed over to the Doo Wooper which is a wild mouse. The line wasn't too bad at about 10 minutes. It was probably the most boring wild mouse I have ever been on with too many brakes (especially before the first drop). After that I went to the giant slide and they were only running 1 slide (yet there were about 12 slides). After waiting way too long for a 10 second slide, I decided to finish off the day at the log flume. The wait was about 15 minutes but it was worth it. For a non Disney log flume, the ride was really long. There were 2 nice sized drops and an underground part of the ride that takes you under the Doo Wooper. According to Morey's site, the ride is 7 minutes long but I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate or not. The only other coaster on the pier was the Flitzer but the line looked to be at least 20 minutes long because the cars only hold 1 - 3 people. I have been on the Flitzer at Ocean City, NJ and I think they should call it brake run the ride, because the whole ride seems to be braked and slows down any time you pick up any speed. I didn't think it was worth the wait so I left. Overall, I had a great day at Morey's Piers and it was even more exciting since I had a chance to try some new types of coasters. I hope to go back next year and get the credits I missed and go on some flats which I didn't have the time for today.

A 2000 Toyota Avalon

Signed, I have never ridden it but when I go to Cedar Point (I will get the eventually) I want to have the chance to ride it.

Super Mario Kart Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix, and Max: 6th Mix

Sonic really needs to expand. I see their commericals all the time on TV but I don't think they are in the North East at all.

6'1"

There was a White Castle near my house for years. I never went in there because the burgers just didn't look that great. It's now an Olive Garden so I probably won't get a chance to try them anytime soon (I would probably try 1 just to see if it does taste good)
